Hi guys
First off sorry if any of this has been answered prior to my post but its personal to my situation. I completed my apprenticeship in 2010 gaining the C&G level 2330 up to level 3 i was due to do my AM2 that year but i couldnt afford it as i got laid off as i finished my course. I contacted my College to get my portfolio of work from the assessments i did on site so i could possibly do it now, however they say they no longer have it (not sure if they are bothering to look to be honest) i have been employed in a couple of jobs since to keep the bills paid etc although none of these have been in the electrical industry. Everybody kept saying keep applying keep sending your CV and something will come up... still nothing. Basically to cut a long story short i was wondering my best option now as i am not employed by an electrical contractor so i cant re-do my portfolio and take my am2. The fact that i have no am2 seems to be stopping me from gaining a job in the industry, i am passionate about the industry and its what i have trained to do. I cannot afford the "fast track" route which seems to have hampered the industry. Any advice would be amazing thanks guys.
